EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Emma Trevarthen showcases the intriguing remnants of South Carlton, a medieval village nestled in Lincolnshire. The image, taken from an aerial perspective, provides a unique glimpse into the earthwork remains that bear witness to the village's rich history. The focal point of this photograph is the intricate pattern of ridge and furrow formations etched into the landscape. These undulating ridges serve as a testament to centuries-old agricultural practices, highlighting how generations of villagers once tilled these very fields. As one gazes upon this scene, it becomes apparent that beneath our modern world lies a tapestry woven with stories of forgotten lives and communities. The shrunken settlement depicted here offers an evocative reminder of human transience and the passage of time. Once bustling with activity and inhabited by families who called it home, South Carlton now stands deserted—a ghostly echo reverberating through history's corridors. Emma Trevarthen's keen eye for detail captures not only the physical remnants but also stirs our imagination about what life might have been like within these ancient walls. This print serves as both a visual feast for those fascinated by archaeology and an invitation to ponder on our own place within the grand narrative of human existence. Through her lens, Trevarthen invites us to contemplate how landscapes change over time while reminding us that even in abandonment there exists beauty worth preserving.
